I can't imagine a plastic bb hurting near as much as a 69cal paintball just because there's a 50-100 fps increase. Kind of like asking how many people were killed during the Civil War with 58-69 cal bullets and compare it to pistol deaths . . .that 69 diameter hurrrrts.I was also fortunate enough to train at Blackwater in NC using Simunitions. I thought that it beat the socks off of paintball. We were doing pier defense and building clearing techniques, so we switched off in teams being good guys and bad guys. We were using kevlar helmets, paintball masks, throat pads, and lead vests. For some reason, that seems to keep your torso and face from being a target, and my hands and lower legs became highly sore areas, but not near as bad as the inner thighs. Seems like whoever was the first person to get shot around the groin made it a point to continue it, and it only escalates from there. I still would love to do a simunition course again though!</blockquote>
